While the stigma and blame is still on the addict and not those who actually
push the drugs, there won’t be a solution. Many who take the drug simply trust
their doctor to prescribe medication that they need, without knowing much about
the potent pain-killer. Drug dealers are not the ones pushing their products on
unsuspecting segments of the population. They simply provide a black market
product that would not be needed in such large quantities if doctors and Big
Pharma were held responsible by the public for this crisis.
